Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was a French photographer, often considered the "father of modern photojournalism", whose guidance was to capture what he called "the decisive moment". His technique was to be unobtrusive, using a quiet 35mm rangefinder camera.

To take a photograph means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second– both the fact itself and the rigorous organisation of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.

It is putting one’s head, one’s eye, and one’s heart on the same axis.
